Despite everything going on lately, including her husband still being behind bars, Jewell strode into the election site confidentally with a smile on her face. She practically snatched the ballot out of the lady's hand, that smile still in place. "Thank you," her tone was all mocking condescension.
She took her ballot and disappeared. It only took a moment and she was back out from behind the curtain again. Jewell Ravenlock Kidd did not need to deliberate about who she was voting for.
She handed the ballot back to the woman, nodding to her, "It's okay. You can read it even though you're not supposed to." That grey eye gaze was just daring the woman, who was becoming increasingly nervous, to.
"Uh.." she lifted the paper up, eyeing the blue ink decorating it in Jewell's fancy script.
"Read it." The Empress commanded in a tone of voice few could refuse.
"What?" She asked her nervously, swallowing and looking around. A few guards started to move their way.
"I said...read it."
"Uh...o..okay. It says...Jewell Ravenlock Kidd."
"And..."
"Votes for No Confidence."
"Louder," she instructed as the lady had read it in a whisper. She gave Jewell a look like, 'Do I have to"' "Just do it!" She practically shouted at the lady. Then she gave the guards nearing her a withering gaze. "And back the hell off, I know my rights gentlemen."
"Jewell Ravenlock Kidd Votes for No Condience!" The lady read it much louder this time, turning the heads of the other voters.
"Thank you!" She replied sweetly to the woman, who was sweating by this point. Then she turned to the rest of those staring at her, "That's right folks! It may not be on the ballot but I, for one, know my rights as a Citizen of RhyDin and one of those rights is to refuse to be governed by the stupid and the inept. Vote for No Confidence!"
She gave another guard a look that stopped him in his place as he reached to restrain her and then waltzed right out.
